Beyond Obsession

CHAPTER 3

I woke up at 7:00 AM, but I still wanted to sleep. I took a bath to wake myself up. After bathing, I combed my hair and used a blow dryer. Tita didn't wake me up dahil siguro nakita niya na mahimbing ang tulog ko, which is totoo naman. I wore a T-shirt and maong shorts.

After I was satisfied with my appearance, I went downstairs for breakfast. While descending the stairs, I felt anxious, like my heart was about to jump out of my chest.

I overheard Auntie and her son talking. "Shit, I thought he's coming home tomorrow?" I muttered to myself.
I wasn't expecting him till saturday, but it's just friday.

Hindi kasi nakauwi last night anak nila, and now he's here?

What if I go back upstairs and tell Auntie I'll eat in my room because I have a headache?

I'm stuck on the last step, and if I move, they'll notice me. Sh*t, what do I do???? Help!!!!!

Stuck on the last step, too nervous to move. Their conversation is so entertaining.

I'm just watching them. Can't help but sneak glances at their son. He's really tall! How handsome he is? hehe. What's wrong with me? I think I'm catching Sapphire's crush vibe.

Auntie Lohrein called me just then. I didn't notice she was staring at me, too caught up in her son.

"Yamira, come," she said.

Their son had his back to me, but soon turned around, and our eyes met.

sobrang gwapo niya.

"U-umm... I won't be eating, Auntie. I didn't have an appetite, I just came down to tell you." I said with a smile.

"Who's she, mom?" He suddenly asked, looking at me.

Omwemjieee! ang lalim ng boses! Ang attractive.

"She's Yamira, anak." Tita Lohrein said.

"Why she's here?" Seryosong tanong nito.

"Dito na siya-" Auntie didn't finish speaking when her son suddenly interrupted.

"For real? Why you didn't tell me?" He furrowed his brow.

"Sorry, son, I forgot." Auntie replied.

"How could you forget?" He asked his mom.

"Don't ask too many questions, Savier."

I wish I could teleport away since he's staring at me intensely, Tingin na nakamamatay, para niya akong pinapatay sa isip niya.

"I'm leaving," he said suddenly, standing up and scanning me from head to toe.

He walked towards me, stopped in front of me, and gazed at me intensely.

I had to look up since he's incredibly tall.

He first looked into my eyes, then my nose, followed by my eyebrows, and finally, his gaze lingered on my lips.

He suddenly spoke, "Outsiders aren't allowed in our house. What do you want? Do you want money? I can give it to you basta lumayas ka lang dito."

"'You think I'm after your money?' I replied.

He's handsome, but his attitude is rude. He assumes I'm a gold-digger. What an arrogant jerk.'

"If you don't leave our house, you won't like what I'll do." He said coldly.

"Oh, what's the worst you can do? Pwede pa bulong?" I said with a smile.
I enjoy provoking people with attitudes like his.

His face darkened. "I'll do whatever it takes to get rid of you," he warned, shoving me.
